Do you have some great need for which you seek me in prayer, such as a financial need or infirmity that needs provision or healing? Your answer may not come immediately. In the meanwhile, what is your attitude toward your problem? Is it denial? This is unreality. Is it resentment? This trades your peace for agitation and can make you resentful and bitter toward me. Can you believe for healing at some time and still accept your condition now? This is not a contradiction. It will enable you to live in peace while you wait. Maybe I am doing some deeper work in you that will be accomplished faster if you don’t deny what you are going through. 

Did you know that there is an Audio Bible option on BibleGateway.com?  I just found out that I could put the Audio Bible on and use my husband's wireless head phones to listen to the Bible while I... [Click To Continue Reading...]

Do you generally find what you look for? My word promises that if you seek you will find. This can work for or against you depending on what you are looking for. Do you seek the truth? Then you will find me, as I have spoken, he who seeks the truth hears my voice. Do you think of truth as objective detached precepts that stand alone? The Biblical concept of truth is relational. It is found in a person rather than a book. I said that I am the way, the truth, and the life.  And so I also said if you abide in me and my words abide in you, you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. 

When we laugh, we bring healing to our lives.

Do you look at natural disasters and try to make sense of them? Do you wonder if I cause them? There is an innate human desire to see justice done and everyone get what they deserve. Is this desire only active in times of disaster? I promise to send the sun and rain on the just and on the unjust. These things happen routinely to support your life on earth. Do you take them for granted or live in a constant sense of gratitude? I invite you to know me. If you do and walk with me during times of peace and plenty you will not be shaken during times of disaster or attribute them to me.

Have you ever been in a small group of people in which the conversation was dominated by the one who had the least interesting things to say? Do you find this annoying? This is a scalable effect in that it can still be observed no matter how small the group is. When you are alone with me in prayer do you do most of the talking? Which of us do you think has the more interesting things to say? I will share my heart with you if you will listen. You know that my word commends fervent prayer. Do you think of this as impassioned appeals that are long and loud? How does the concept of listening fit with this? I want you to practice fervent listening prayer.

Do you feel that you have to solve every problem and meet every need of other people? This is an impossible task for you and one that I have not called you to. I am the answer they need. If you attempt to be all things for them you will fail them and will be diverting them from me rather than leading them to me. Some cases are beyond your ability to assist, but none are beyond mine. Do you think it is an excuse and an evasion of responsibility to point them to me? This is the best thing you can do for them. Those who have served me best have done this. John the Baptist saw himself as the friend of the bridegroom and rejoiced when his disciples followed me. You don’t need disciples of your own.

Here is an interesting application of using the eyes of one's heart in prayer ministry to a wounded heart. It was emailed to me from Richard Sicheneder. The prayer approach below was part of a 3-hour prayer ministry session, which also included breaking generational sins and experiencing the Father's love. As a result of this prayer time, the client said she felt lighter and different.

Blessed Holy Lord Jesus, Dr. Guillermo Maldanado said on April 20th on Sid Roth’s "It’s Supernatural" program that the reason most churches are ineffective is because they do not preach the gospel of the Kingdom. As I reviewed the various Scriptures that speak of the gospel of the Kingdom, I do not find it defined except by the signs and miracles that accompanied the preaching of the gospel of the Kingdom. Lord, how do You define the gospel of the Kingdom?

Each of us have so many opportunities to meet the daily needs around us by offering to people a supernatural touch from Almighty God. In the story below, what it took was the simple laying on of hands and the prayer of faith, performed over the phone, and a serious health problem was removed. Thank You, Lord!
